TDIPT Mercantile is still on ETSY!

About Me

I'm a devoted wife, mother of two incredible boys, full-time professional and crafter. I must find time to create each day or I feel like something is missing. All that I make I create by hand as I don't even own a sewing machine. I'm a city girl who also yearns for time in the country.

Thanks for sharing your shop hop trip. Really nice shops. I am from northwest Illinois and still have relatives there..some of which are in Pearl City. I did not even know about that shop..I am sorry to say. Next time I am in that area it will be a stop for me.

You go to the best shops! Aren't those scissors cute?! I have wanted to try the English paper piecing for awhile now. Isn't there a new book coming out on paper piecing? Thanks for the giveaway. ~Christine

So much fun seeing the stores that you visited. I will have to not be so shy and take photos when I am traveling to new stores.I have never tried paper piecing, usually I just sew my hexes by hand with no templates.

Patti, you go on some wonderful trips! Someday I will have a friend that loves doing things like that. I wish you would come to the Iowa stitch-in that Barb Albright is setting up. I'd love to meet you in person. I live on the Iron Range and have no one who stitches prim close by so I'm heading to Iowa in June. Love your work! Krissy B.

OMGoodness, Patti! I adore the scissors more than anything! Of course, I love it all and of course would love to win, but if I don't, I'll contact the shop about, especially the scissors! Wonderful shop to visit! Thanks for sharing with the post and pix!

Oh, I wish I was along on your journey! I have tried English Paper Piecing...I find it very relaxing;think you will enjoy the hand-work, too. Please enter me in the lovely giveaway.Busy Hands...Happy HeartPatricia

I am a re-found quilter - did quilts a long time ago and now looking at it again. I have never done the paper piecing so would love to win this give a way and try it. The scissors and magnet are too cute!

Hi Patti, I was at the Quilt festival yesterday and as I commented to you previously I visited Yellow Creek Designs. Jill was so lovely and she demo'd the hexies to myself and my friend who "doesn't " sew. We both left well equipped to begin Stars In The Garden. I mentioned to Jill that you are the reason for my purchase. Thank you Patti! I look forward to your posts! Janice

Hi Patti,I've not yet tried English paper piecing but I love paper piecing quilt blocks. I find it rather fun! Well, maybe they're similar?!Thanks for a chance at the give-away.Maureenmgw070 at rogers dot com
